The .FBW file extension represents the HP Recovery Manager Backup File format created by the HP (Hewlett-Packard) Windows utility. This type of archive typically contains all the files and system settings that were backed up on an HP laptop using this software. It is designed to enable restoration of a previous computer state in case of emergencies like system crashes or data loss.
Features
HP Recovery Manager is a safe way to back up data on HP machines. Not only does it create an " .FBW" file extension archive, it also stores documents and files so that they can easily be restored on demand in case of problems. It also offers handy wizards which guide users through the restoration process step-by-step. As it is part of the Windows operating system it can be launched whenever needed without any additional downloads or configuration.
Technical Details
An .FBW file is actually a compressed version of multiple other folders and files stored inside an encrypted.CAB (Cabinet) archive. Other similar file extensions include HDR,.IMG, and SRS. The recovery partition on an HP machine contains both the software and the setup data that allows to de-compress this archive when called for. The most important aspect for these files is to make sure that they remain secure from unauthorized access.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FBW) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .FBW extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .FBW file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .FBW extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .FBW extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FBW file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FBW file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .FBW file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FBW file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FBW file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
